View real-time logging during an on-demand collection
By default, real-time logging is enabled when you initiate an on-demand collection for a data collector. > > provides a window to view the logs in real-time as the collection progresses.
The following steps help you to view the real-time logging:
- Go to Admin > Data Collection > Collector Administration. All Data Collectors are displayed.
- Initiate an on-demand data collection as described under Working with on-demand Data Collection with Enable Real-Time Logs selected.
The Policy State column displays status as Collecting and an icon to open the Collection Console pop-up.
- Click the icon next to the Collecting link to view the real-time logs in the Collection Console. Real-time logs are visible as long as the data collection is in progress and the Collection Console is open.
You can use the filter on the console to selectively view the logs of your choice. The Collection Console icon is not visible if the data collection is not in progress.
